VIDEO: High School Students Walk Out Of Class To Protest Trump, Block Highway

High school students in Maryland sat in the middle of a highway and blocked traffic during school hours Tuesday to protest President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.

The demonstration involving Prince George County students came amid a week of similar public displays amongst thousands of progressives in the Washington, D.C., area and around the country. Protesters have been marching, rioting and vandalizing property since last week’s election, mostly in areas where Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton saw significant support at the ballot box.

“These are high school kids, they’re not even old enough to vote, protesting the election of Donald Trump to be the next President of the United States,” Cavuto said. “So before he’s even had a chance to take any action, they’re kind of shooting it in the womb here, so to speak, to say that he’s a bad guy. That he’s going to be the death of sanctuary cities. That he will just be bad. Period. So, in a lot of venues, you would call them ‘sore losers.’ But they’re high school kids, so you always wonder if they’re just cutting class or if someone’s putting them up to this — or both.“

Protesters who feel compelled to walk into oncoming traffic are not only doing so illegally, they’re also doing so at their own risk. In at least one instance, a protester was struck by an oncoming vehicle.

A man reportedly died Tuesday after his ambulance was prevented from reaching a hospital by protesters who decided to block a highway. The incident was reported by Paul Joseph Watson of InfoWars via a Facebook post from someone claiming to be one of the first responders on the scene.

The post read:

I have to unfacebook for a few days. I had a patient die during a transfer last night because our ambulance was stopped by protesters and had to drive an extra 45 minutes around the blocked roads. I can’t today. They can give their f—g safety pins to my daughter’s fatherless 4-year-old daughter.”

The post did not offer specifics of where the incident took place, and the name of the person who made the post was hidden.

During his first extensive interview after the election with 60 Minutes on Sunday night, Trump denounced the alleged hate crimes being committed by his supporters against minorities in the wake of his presidency. He said he was “saddened” to hear that some of his supporters are inciting violence and directly addressed his supporters.
